Can you fit a milk crate on this rack (horizontally)? or does that curved end get in the way too much?

not sure, but the rack part you can adjust it to be farther back, but not sure if that would put more strain on the seat post.

A milk cart might fit if the long axis is mounted laterally (left to right). However I say might. I have the Ibera PakRak which is actually made specifically for this rack. Even at maximum extension, the pack sits right up on the back of the seat. I would only imagine that a milk crate (which is taller) would be an even tighter squeeze. I also agree with Juan C that a milk crate would probably put excess on the seat post as well as the rack itself. Remember, this rack is gravity mounted (floats over the back wheel) and has no other support. Under the weight of a fully loaded milk crate, I could easily see either the rack or the seat post snapping. Hope this helps.

Yeah the curved end would probably get in the way. They sell another rack that mounts to the frame and would probably be better and doesn't have the curve on the end. Don't get the one that's especially made for the click in bag.

I think the curves end would get in the way I use a bike bag that is about 18 inches long. Fits on it but I also have my seat way up a I am a tall guy.

I cut off the curved end with a hacksaw quite easily so that I could attach a longer basket to it. Works great now!

The rack works most easily with the sqat half pints - very stable. With the narrower base of the taller ones, you need to make sure that the jars are pushed up against the outer support wire so that the base of the jar sits on the outer base ring. Otherwise the jars my tip. I have successfully used both sides of the rack - see which size best stabilizes the style jar you are using.

This is a very sturdy rack. It is designed for hats on top, and coats on the lowest pegs. There are only 4 coat pegs, but each is long enough to double-up. If you go higher, just even out the load. The base is wide and heavy, so tipping should not be a problem.

No. The brackets are bent to fit on any bar, round or flat, but the openings are only 2" across. The rack on my truck is made out of 2" tubing and I had replace the bracket bolts with longer ones in order for it to work.

I am not sure. I didnt try and fit it on the front. I feel like it would be too long for a front rack.

I dont believe so, not through amazon anyways. If you're having issues with the stability or duability of your rack, dont worry i suffered the same issues. It turns out i didnt assemble it as tight as possible. Turning it on its side and pushing it in will allow it to stay better:) hope i helped

Yes, I think you could. You may want to go to an REI and try it out in the parking lot before you buy it on Amazon, but the metal clamps lock on with a semi-oval angle that grabs the edges of a more rounded bar (which are flat on bottom). Make sense? I can't promise since I used factory Subaru racks that are flatter, but there should be plenty of space for a square bar given the adjustments you can make on the clamp tightness.

I think two in the same rack would not fit, bottom area is slightly bigger.

Hi, I decided to look further at my rack after Reading the other responses. The other posters are right. I see that several of my dividers have popped out from the weight of my cookie sheets. So I think they're probably right it would not be a good idea.

It doesn't look like it. The openings where you insert the bottles are angled and my guess is that it won't hold them if hung horizontally.

I have a cargo rack on my bike and this guy fits right into the edge (U side down). You might try that. Otherwise, I've also locked it between my water bottle holder and top bar to keep it from sliding around. Good luck!

I think you can probably make it work. The rack is wide, and the height is easily adjusted, so I don't think fat tires would be a problem. The front stays swivel and extend where they connect to the rack, so you have a lot of options there even without bending anything. If you want to connect directly to the hub, I think you could do it by replacing the lower hardware with some kind of kludge (the standard hardware is narrower than the axle, so I'm skeptical about drilling it out).

Thank you for your inquiry. We have a concern about the can height and whether it will fall between the wires if it is positioned on it's side in the rack. Our suggestion is to line the rack with something. If this is done, the rack will work find.

Should not be a problem, the racks can attach at different heights to the supports. I'd have to check, but the increments are about 1 inch I believe. You should be good.

Yes, the rack will definitely accommodate that size with room to spare on either end. This is a great tool and very multifunctional.

Yes, Barbara, it can go on an angled tube. The part that attaches to your bottle cage adjusts over a pretty wide range, and locks, securely, so you can probably make it fit, perfectly, wherever you need to put it. The pivot is at the big orange circle in the photo.

I would advise against using it this way. It will most likely sag in the middle.
